We did it! Your first graders did a great job of putting
first things first (that’s habit 3 that we learned about this week), and they
made it to 15 minutes with their reading and writing stamina. They enjoyed some popsicles as a result. We began to learn about Read to Someone this
week, and we will start practicing that next week. We also did some Word Work with our first word
sorts. We will work on them some more
next week, and then the sorts will come home and your first graders can show
you what they learned. Once a word sort
comes home, its stays home. J
In math we
finished unit one and we will begin unit 2 on Monday. On Tuesday we are looking at ways we use
numbers, and they need to bring in their homework from Monday which is the
Lesson 2-1 homework.
We also finished
our geography unit by making maps of Antarctica and Africa, and Mrs. Freeman shared with us about her trip to Africa. We will be doing a science unit on habitats
next.
Please remember to
send in the permission slip and money for the Colorado Wildlife Program that
will be at our school. These are due this Friday the 14th
along with Scholastic book orders if you would like to order any. The book orders went home in Friday folders
last week.
Also remember that
there will be no morning snack starting Monday the 10th and a short body break will
replace the recess so we have more time for our literacy and writing.
